Is it this one? http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherboards/U/UN … -PANDA386V.html

Holy **** that's it!

How did you find it? I searched the bios strings forever, looked at almost every VLB board I could find schematics.

This looks like a great board for my 386DX system as a backup. Though I just need to fix that one stupid little capacitor that blew (motherboard still works but the ISA slot by it doesn't serve power anymore to the video card I had in it].

Amazing what you find at the local thrift store brand new in an antistatic bag. It came with the CPU and 4MB of RAM. The specs say it can even handle up to 128MB!? Who even used that much way back in that era? 4MB was almost high-end, with 8MB being insane. I don't even remember anyone of my buddies talking about 16MB.

Anyways, THANK YOU!

No one? Well, maybe some high-end scientific research computer or something like that, bur certainly no regular user would even come close to that in the 386 or 486 era. My 486 was upgraded over the years up to 16MB back then. Luckily you can now fill up that board with an "insane" amount of RAM 😁 That's the beauty of doing these retro builds nowadays. Although finding 16MB 30 pin SIMMS isn't going to be easy.
